Company description:Your future team
Transmission Simulation and System Design is a group with 16 engineers, within the department Driveline, Powertrain Technology. The Swedish organization has the full worldwide product platform responsibility for Heavy Duty Powertrains, and of the installation in European Volvo products. We participate in all stages of the product cycle - from advanced engineering to industrial development and maintenance.
Our group is responsible for transmission analyses within many different areas: FEA (Finite Element Analysis), 1D flow, 1D mechanical, CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), as well as system layout and gear design. We perform simulations to optimize durability, weight, efficiency and noise/vibration to support our HW design teams and in order to bring our customers world-class products.
Job description:How you'll contribute
As a Simulation Engineer for Gear Technology, you will design and evaluate gear concepts for our word-class conventional transmissions and electrified power units.
Responsibilities:
Gear Design and Analysis: Optimize gear- and spline designs at macro and micro level to meet internal and external performance and durability requirements. Perform advanced simulations and correlate the results with physical tests.
Manufacturing and production: Close contact with prototype manufacturing and serial production, understand the value of different materials and process technologies.
Stakeholder Management: Present and explain status, challenges, and results to stakeholders (such as design engineers and project leaders) and senior management.
Documentation: Document the design solution, simulation results and requirements in Engineering Reports (ER) and Technical Requirements (TR).
Method development: Contribute to method and tool development, virtual and physical verification.
The scope and complexity will evolve together with your work experience.
Who are you?
We are looking for someone with a strong transformation and collaborative mindset who is eager to learn, explore, and understand the business. You thrive in dynamic environments, embrace new challenges and ambiguity, and take ownership of your own development and growth. With strong analytical skills, you take initiatives and drive tasks forward with determination while bringing fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to the team.
You enjoy building relationships and leveraging a global network to create impact while working collaboratively across teams and functions. In addition, you contribute to a culture of continuous learning by actively sharing knowledge, exchanging insights, and supporting the development of others.
Requirements:
MSc in Mechanical Engineering, preferably in Applied Mechanics or equivalent, such as Civil engineering (Structural Engineering and Building Technology) or Engineering Physics
You have at least theoretical knowledge of strength and durability, FEA and system simulation, and it's beneficial if you have some practical experience, for example from projects, internships, work experience or thesis work.
You have a genuine technical interest, especially in mechanical systems, and are eager to learn more
Ability to explain and present findings and conclusions in a structured manner and adapt communication to different audiences.
Programming competence in Python or Matlab
Additional desirable skills:
Transmission knowledge
Experience in developing design solutions based on business requirements.
Curiosity about how business operations, strategy, and financial performance are linked.
To qualify for the Graduate program, you:
Have completed a master's degree prior to the start of the program but not more than 3 years ago.
Should not have more than three years' full-time relevant working experience in the field prior to starting, excluding part-time work during studies.
Are fluent in English, both written and verbal.
Are willing to travel and participate in international short-term assignments
What's in it for you?
Our Volvo Group Graduate Program starts in August 2027, and you will be offered a permanent position at Trucks Technology & Industrial Division with placement in Sweden, Gothenburg. These are some of the benefits of joining our program:
